I have Armenian heritage...my grandfather (an Armenian Catholic) was born on a ship to the USA when his family was fleeing the violence that was apparently increasing, but...I don’t get hung up on it (and neither did he) because he became an American, not an Armenian, so it didn’t define him.
When we were kids, he used to say to us with his completely bald head, dark skin, and big wide eyes (Kind of reminded me of Scatman Crothers later in life!) when we were misbehaving “The Turks are going to get you!”
It was only later I understood what he was referring to!
I can still remember how his face would change, his eyes would burn when the Turkish were mentioned and on any reference to the events of 1915. I never asked for details and just thought it best to let it go.
